Richard Butchins's Blog: Angels stand corrected... - Posts Tagged "play"

It's been a long lonely lonely time...

Hello

Almost a year has passed since I last posted a blog. In that time I lost a friend to death, failed to finish a novel, started another, made two films and was given an incorrect diagnoses by a psychiatrist - I'm still struggling with that one - trying to get any help with mental ill health in this country is like trying to get a smile out of Theresa May.

On the good news side I have an Arts Council grant to put on a one act play I have written. The venue is the Battersea Arts Centre in London. It's called 213 things about me". No, it's not about me. It's a monologue for one woman based on the tragic life of a dear lover who had Autism and committed suicide - but it does contain jokes for she was one of the funniest people I ever knew.

I am also going to Japan to make an experimental documentary with 3 disabled Japanese artists - I will be blogging about that over at "The Voice of the Unicorn" and also here.

As for writing, well I've managed this blog post ...so baby steps at the moment
